In 1912, rational scientist Fred Fairly, one of Cambridge's best and brightest, crashes his bike and wakes up in bed with a stranger-fellow casualty Daisy Saunders, a charming, pretty, and almost pathologically generous working-class nurse. So begins a series of complications-not only of the heart but also of the head-as Fred and Daisy take up each other's education and turn each other's philosophies upside down.
From the recipient of a National Book Critics Circle Award, among other honors, this story of an unlikely and possibly doomed romance is a "deft comedy of manners... Fitzgerald's elegant prose shines with intelligence and subtle wit... Her flair for well-drawn eccentric characters will appeal to fans of Muriel Spark and Barbara Pym" ( Library Journal).
"A singular accomplishment." - Boston Globe
"Powerfully bewitching." - Los Angeles Times
